Please note: this guide is not complete. The game doesn't track progress, and it's a pain to go to the Codex all the time (Inventory => Top Row => Journal => Top Right => Lower choice). However, I haven't found any other guide out there on this achievement, so I've marked what I know. Since I've found everything, I can't go back through to figure out what unlocks where because it carries over between playthroughs. If you have any insight, I'll be happy to add it.

In order to earn this, you will need to unlock all codex entries in all four acts of the game. A large number of these entries are story-related and will unlock automatically. The game doesn't keep your progress in the achievement app, and it isn't always clear what triggers each codex entry. What I do know, however, is that you will need more than one playthrough, since some entries depend on destiny choices.

Progress carries over playthroughs. I unlocked one of the Archivist achievements in Act I in the Sheriff's Office by choosing the choice I hadn't made before. (Unfortunately, I don't know WHICH entry was unlocked with this choice.)

The Codex is found in the main menu, or can be accessed from your character screen. The entries themselves likely will be a clue as to what triggered the entry. A running list of my unlocked entries is in the spoiler boxes. Note: there may be actual spoilers listed.
